Hi all,

I am currently a college student conducting a thesis, the topic being looking into MTurk workers in Taiwan and their accountability to their jobs. I am trying to gather results on where their accountability lies when it comes to completing tasks, whether that be to the work they produce, their requesters, etc. I am having trouble getting responses. I have the location set to Taiwan, a rating of greater than 85%, and a reward of $2.25. This has been up for three days, and I have not received any responses. Does anyone have any idea where to go from here?

Without seeing the HIT, I can't be sure, but I would suspect that there just aren't many turkers in Taiwan.

The approval rating at 85% should be fine. How long is your HIT expected to take? If the HIT seems long for the pay, people may be inclined to skip it. If it's short, maybe include an estimate in the HIT's title or description if you haven't already.

It is expected to take 10 minutes, and this is included in the title as well. You are right -- it may just be that there are few in Taiwan which is sure a bummer.
